AWL Helped Bianco, The Rowing Club Mascot

A big dog friend, Helene (UK) called me and asked if AWL could help her with a dog at the Italian rowing club and restaurant, across the lake from where I live. The dog had a problem with one of its back legs.
Of course AWL would and could!

We agreed on meeting on a Saturday morning. It was a peaceful morning, the water on the lake was glittering from the sun, and I was greeted by a happy Helene, and a wonderful, happy, beige dog, Bianco.
Bianco limped and sometimes didn't put down his leg. He had "kind off" healed burn wounds on his stomach, but he was loving, gentle and didn't leave your side.

The restaurant owner came out, Bianco's "guardian angel." He told me what had happened one morning:
"I heard this terrible scream and rushed out. Bianco was being attacked by a Pitt Bull and it wouldn't let go even when I tried to hose it off with cold water. I ran in to the kitchen and got a pot of boiling water and threw it over them. It wasn't until then that he let go, and poor Bianco got burns
and a nasty bite."
I asked if they knew what had happened to the Pit Bull, did the owner get charged for miss handling a dog (breed)?
"The Pit bull ran into a pasture and attacked the horse, the farmer came out and shot the dog"
The restaurant owner took Bianco to an Italian veterinarian clinic were he was examined, but still he was not doing great, better though. But could we help?

I asked if we could have him castrated at the same time? The owner looked at me with big starring eyes, and his lips formed in a soundless "NO".
I promised that AWL would take care of the bill. His face lit up and he took my hand and was pleased. "Si, si!"

Bianco is doing fine now, a small fracture above the knee, his burns are healed and he is still a happy, castrated boy back at the restaurant. And, Helene sponsored by paying Biancos medical bill.

Healing Amore Helene Grazie!
